When i first created the user registration options, everything went fine and you signed up under an email address, but you had to confirm that email prior to actually being able to post. Once done you were a registered member.

Then we had a slight problem with vBulletin spam bots, i'm sure everyone remembers 'Hello and Bye, Sex Love for All!'. I had to change the user registration about 6 times on that. Firstly I made the image verification settings harder and harder each time until the bots still made it through then I went fuck it and put an administrative mod on who registered. That way I had to manually verify every user that joined up. Problem with that is that it was time consuming, and sometimes could take 1-2 days for me to log in and verify each legitimate user whilst deleting spam bots.

The bot registrations however stopped and whoever was deliberately attacking the forums has ceased activity. So I loosened the registration security off once again so anyone can join and get posting priveleges within minutes if their email add verifies. There are security settings I can modify and COPPA Users (Users awaiting email confirmation) do not have trawling rights in the members rides threads. But once they confirm it, they move into the Registered Users section and can view anything normal members can.

Personally, I'm not worried. I'm sensible enough on the road.

I was more worried about what would happen if we had a big cruise (like the feb one? ) And someone dropped in on us, or lied to the police saying we're doing something illegal.

My friends had something similar happen in an air rifle competition, and it wound up with many awkward excuses and un happy parents.
